Best Buy to peddle Gateway gear

Gateway will establish what could become its retail beachhead later this month, when Best Buy begins selling a limited amount of Gateway-brand consumer electronics gear.

Best Buy will sell Gateway-brand MP3 players, LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs and home theater equipment left over from the PC maker's retail stores, which closed in April. Some of the goods will appear online only, while others will also be sold in Best Buy stores, a Gateway spokesman said.
